Quicktime Bellhousing

[big-boss]

Rick, if you have 4.5 inches under your lakewood then that would make your frame at about 6.5 to 7.0 inches. You probably should worry just alittle more about setup at this time? Don't ya think?
You are not the only guy that has been around the block. You ought to drive my car with the "stupid" camshaft and not enough compression-hope you like "crow"!

BB, you're not working/playing well with others. ERAs need the trimming at the bottom, and I can't believe it lessens the integrity of the bellhousing in the least. Here's a couple of shots of mine so you can see what I mean:

The only thing you lose is the SFI rating when you cut it.

Guys this is straight from Quicktimes website.

RM-6056 - Big Block Ford Bellhousing to TKO 500-600/T5 Mustang/TR3550 transmission

Height = 7.050"
Trans. Bore Ø = Universal 4.850/4.910
Engine = Ford 352/390/427/428
Trans. = Universal TKO 500-600/T5 Mustang/TR3550

Flywheel = 184 tooth
Weight = 22#
Universal shifter fork brackets for diaphragm or cable operated linkage
Has passed ALL SFI testing
Pivot ball, fork brackets, FULL engine plate and grade 8 bolts included

I have talked with Ross at Quicktime guys the main reason this particular bell housing does not have the certification is simple. It is mostly used in the Cobra market and the bottom lip is trimmed to allow for clearance issues. Ross also confirmed with me that the bell housing passed ALL explosion tests, so there is no need to worry about your legs. jimig@standardtransmission.com

Take a look at Ross's post above and you will see why they are lighter and stronger.

Here we go again on the merry go round.This is straight from the horse's mouth. Lake wood has 1 bellhousing #15210. It is certified with a 6.1 rating. It's approved for "ALL" racing sanction bodies. Quicktime, this is right out of there catalog, #RM 6056, FE to a TKO500-600, passed test but not certified. #RM6057, FE motor to a Toploader trans, nothing on testing or cert. #RM 6058 FE to ZF trans, passed test not certified. #RM 8040 FE to a T56 trans, tested and certified to 6.1. One out of 4 is certified. Big Boss I have a car that is fast enough with stupid speed and power. There are things you can do to a car like drop spindles or different control arms with off sets. If you want to test your car and driving, come on out to the Run&Gun. I run BB street class. This class is for tires with a 220 or higher rating. No power adders. Might even do a side bet with you, You drive yours and I will drive mine. We can autocross, roadrace, and dragrace. I will run the 482 motor. this should keep us with the same cubes? I like a good beating, and can give ones too. Rick L.
